Review: 30275 TIE Advanced Prototype Polybag

This is a new polybag that can be found at Toys'R'Us. I mentioned it in my "Polly Want a Baggy" post earlier this year.

Bag. Retail is $3.99 for a Price per Piece of $0.09.

Instructions.

Parts. A large amount of Plates in various forms,
multiples -- except for three individual parts -- of
each piece, and a preponderance of Light Bley.

Build. Big Dog. Lots of attachment points on

this quad although it's a little on the large side.

The Questions:

Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? Yes. (+5)Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? Below. (+5) (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away? Yes. (+5)Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? No. (-5)Score: +10 (A-). This would have scored higher but the lack of extra parts held it back.Oh -- if anyone besides me has been keeping track -- yes, this is my 500th post.
